[SCENE: The backwoods of a small town, Crossville, Tennessee. There’s a trailer home with the front bottom end blown out, the window above covered by a blanket because no one wanted to buy window blinds. Gravel for a driveway, and poor soil and grass for the backyard, the latter being in which Ms. Katie Moicelle lies with hands behind her head, body stretched out, ear buds playing ‘Only Time’ by Enya, eyes to the sky, and mind in deep thought. Time: 4:30 P.M.]
Katie's thoughts:
“I wonder what it might be like in Winnipeg? Surely at this time of year, it’s really nice, what with Canada being in the Western Hemisphere and what not.”
[Katie gets her phone out and searches up “weather in Winnipeg” and sees that the temperature on the date of Nothing Else Matters is supposed to be in the 30’s.]
Thoughts:
“I might want to bring a windbreaker, then. I forgot about them being closer to the Arctic.”
[She closes her eyes and enjoys the rest of the song. When it ends, Katie turns off her music and gets up to walk back to her home. As soon as she walks in, she notices the news talking about her.]
Female News Anchor:
“It seems that state-renowned and beloved former Cumberland County High sprinter Kathryne Montes looks to be taking up professional wrestling.”
Male News Anchor:
“Indeed so, if you recall, Kathryne is a former state champion sprinter from Cumberland County High who broke several state records in events such as the 100- and 200-meter dashes, as well as winning the Knoxville Marathon in 2012 and last year. Now, under the moniker of “Katie Moicelle,” Montes wants to professionally wrestle for a company called Visionaries of Wrestling, based out of St. Paul, Minnesota. It is unknown if she has taken up any training, but we here at Channel 10 wish her all the luck in the world.”
[The graphical people behind the scenes show footage of Katie’s multiple past accolades, and footage of last year’s Knoxville Marathon. Katie just purses her lips, feeling chastened at leaving her past life behind, but decides that it’s all for the best, seeing as she didn’t want an odd job for minimum wage. No, Katie’s better than that! She wants a fun career that would pay off in about 25 years, and professional wrestling at V.o.W. would be just that: fun. Right?]
[Katie walks into her room, where her cat dozes on the queen-sized bed. Katie pets him behind the ears as she sits down and looks at the V.o.W. website to see that there’s something new in the Pay-Per-View Cards section called “VOW Presents Nothing Else Matters!” and the first thing she sees aside from the nice title card is the following:
Preshow Special
- Four Way Elimination Match -
(Winner receives Zero Gravity Title shot at Fate of the Gods. Others receive multi-person title shot at Breakthrough 25)
Katie Moicelle Vs. Patrick Jones vs. “Phenomenal” Steve Herring Vs. Feolan O’Hannigáin
[Katie gets a little worried. Her very first match and she is in there with three other much larger men, the smallest male competitor in the match (Steve Herring, at 220 pounds) being nearly twice the size of the petite Moicelle.
One side of her brain says,
“You’re smaller than everyone in the company, there’s no plausible way you’ll survive.”
While the other side explains,
“Law of mass dictates that the mass of an object dramatically increases the force of impact when said object collides with the ground, and with Feolan’s size, his fall should be massive.”
She didn’t know which side of her incredible mind to believe, so she decided to just pack up her clothes and a blanket and board a plane to Minneapolis to find a training facility near VoW headquarters. On the way, she’d watch Botchamania to watch what NOT to do while performing. If there’s one thing Katie doesn’t want to do, it’s get Visionaries of Wrestling onto Botchamania.]
WHAT SEEMS LIKE 3 HOURS LATER.
[Katie un-boards the plane, with nothing but sun, wind, and people in all directions. She walks over to a nice bench to check the VoW website on her phone, looking at all of the results from VoW as she waits for the bus to take her to her apartment.]
Thoughts:
“Am I ready for this career? Do I WANT to risk life and limb for the entertainment and delight of others? Especially against people like Feolan O’Hannigain, who is an Irish brute who destroys people like me for a living?
[She continues to ponder as the bus arrives and she boards.]
Last time I looked, Feolan hasn’t competed yet… Maybe he’ll go easy on me? Oh, come on, Kathryne, of course he won’t. Just brace for the worst and hope for the best!”
[Growing a little more determined, Katie stops the bus, deciding to run to her apartment since she has an address for it and everything. Everyone becomes annoyed that the bus stopped so soon, but all were then amazed by Katie’s blistering foot-speed. Without breaking a sweat, Katie ran from the bus to that apartment building, which was a mile away from said bus, in around 4 and a half minutes, humming “Wind Below” by Rage Against the Machine the whole way. She takes a few seconds to breathe before going into the futuristic looking lobby area. Glass surrounded everything inside, which was your typical second rate hotel lobby.]
Hotel Manager:
“Ma’am, are you Ms. Montes?
*Katie nods her head yes.*
Your apartment number is 1012. Check back here if there are any problems.”
*Katie gives the manager a quick thumbs up before heading up to her room.*
[Apartment key in hand, Katie gets in after 2 tries. She closes the door, slides down to sit, and proudly says…]
Katie:
“I am. I can. I will. I’ll do my absolute best.”
[Afterwards, she got into her pajamas and tried to take a nap. Oh, how Katie missed her kitty cat.]
